Top 50 Drivers of 2024
Autosport's team of expert journalists got together to try to assess who were the top 50 drivers of 2024. Here are the results.
Colton Herta enjoyed a renaissance campaign in 2024 after two consecutive years mired in 10th.
Andretti Global’s 24-year-old leading man won twice, ending a 41-race drought dating back to 2022 with a masterful drive in Toronto, while taking a further four podiums and three poles.
Herta closed out the year with a maiden oval triumph in the Nashville finale, shaking off any doubts of his oval prowess and overall hit a different level of maturity.
He could be a handful for the paddock next year in what might be his last IndyCar season, if Cadillac Formula 1 links bear fruit.
